"Senate Republicans introduced a budget resolution Tuesday to fund immigration enforcement agencies, the first step in a lengthy budgetary process to end a record-breaking partial shutdown of the Department of Homeland Security."
"Republicans are looking to a budget tool called reconciliation to fund the remaining DHS agencies along party lines, bypassing the need for Democratic support."
"The resolution would authorize the Judiciary and Homeland Security Committees to draft legislation that would increase the deficit by up to $70 billion each."
"President Trump has given a deadline of June 1 for the bill's passage."
Senate Republicans have proposed a budget resolution aimed at funding immigration enforcement agencies, marking the initial step to resolve a partial shutdown of the Department of Homeland Security. Congressional Democrats refuse to fund ICE and CBP without significant reforms following recent incidents involving federal agents. Republicans plan to utilize reconciliation to fund remaining DHS agencies along party lines, potentially increasing the deficit by up to $70 billion. The resolution is expected to fund these agencies for 3.5 years, with a deadline for passage set by President Trump.
